What is the craziest rumour you have heard about GD?

[Tamy15]

I heard once, something about Billie and Avril Lavigne when she started in the music thing in 2002... I mean I heard that Avril wanted "something" with Billie, but I never believed that...

And about Tre having one testicle, I thought it was true :/

Haha. You shouldn't believe it. I'm pretty sure the boys can't stand Avril, haha.

And, yeah, I thought it was true too, but I do remember once hearing it was just a joke that they somehow kept up for years. It's impressive, actually, it just sucks for fans that believed it for so long, haha.

[Tamy15]

Ohh God, I laughed so hard when I read it

Yeah, I thing it's not true, but... If anyone knows anything more about that... tell us

And I think it's really weird to keep that rumour (the Tre's one) for so long, why do that... it's bizarre

I never heard that. But, I'm 100% positive that's not true. Avril just pretty much loves Green Day. But since Tre said he'd like to strangle her with her tie, I'd guess they don't like her music.

About the Punk'd....I never heard that either. I wouldn't think Billie would get pissed off. I'm sure nothing they would put in Tre's soup would actually hurt him, and they are all pranksters themselves, so I think they would take it pretty good.

Well, Tre is quite bizarre himself...

[saffy]

Okay, now this is really bugging me. Has anyone else here read this? I'm racking my brain trying to recall where I actually heard this.

I've read it too. It's in one of the articles posted on GDA. It was from 2002 when the album was stolen and they lost confidence in Billie as a songwritter

[fashionvictim86]

That Tre thought Welcome to Paradise was a shit song and got into a thing with Billie about it.

Mike has a heart malformation thanks to his birth mother being a drug addict.

Heh, that's true. I don't think Welcome to Paradise is one of Green Day's best. In fact, it's like one of my least favorite Green Day songs.

About Mike, I think he has said he had a heart murmur or something.

[Sarahnade.]

I don't see why Tre would say Welcome to Paradise is a bad song. That confuses me. It's not one of their best, I think, but I think it's a good enough song where Tre shouldn't have doubted it. I don't know. :/

And, yeah, it is bizarre that they kept that rumor up so long, but they were probably just having fun with it. It really is an entertaining story. But I believed it was true for the longest time until recently, haha.

And, with Mike, I thought he had something enlarged in his heart which caused him to sometimes have panic attacks. Whenever I read about 'Panic Song' since Mike and Billie both wrote it, I usually hear that Billie suffers from panic attacks and Mike does too, because of that heart thing. That's just what I've heard, though.

Tre said that about Avril?? Do you know where or when?? OMG that's hilarious

And, yeah...CrimsonSheep, Tre is bizarre, you're right

[!Viva La Analee!]

Tre said that about Avril?? Do you know where or when?? OMG that's hilarious

haha, it doesn't suprise me.

[norcalgreendayfan]

but Tre is still lovable no matter what

[RogueBreakdown]

Who the fuck is Billy?

I'm kidding.

I also heard that Green Day are women. But I think I might have made that up.

I apologize for this, but: BILLIE BILLIE BILLIE BILLIE BILLIE.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

How the hell did I spell that wrong?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!

I used to make fun of the people who spelled his name wrong... and now.... gulp....I'm one of them

I didn't know you could get panic attacks from a heart problem. I have panic attacks all the time and of all the doctor's I've been too they never asked me anything about my heart.

[Tamy15]

but Tre is still lovable no matter what

Of course... He's always loveable

But, is it true or not?? Because I dunno what to believe now.. :/

Oh, and, Tre is the Godfather of Billie's children isn't him? Because I read it as well, and I always thought it was true...

[Hermione]

I've read Mike say his panic attacks were related to his heart problem somewhere too, around the Insomniac era. Maybe he wasn't getting the medical facts 100% right. But I guess if you were on an exhausting tour having to deal with really bad chest pains, it wouldn't exactly help any panic disorder you might have.

I don't see why Tre would say Welcome to Paradise is a bad song. That confuses me. It's not one of their best, I think, but I think it's a good enough song where Tre shouldn't have doubted it. I don't know. :/

Billie was just giving it as an example of when they were having problems as a band before they made AI. He said,

"It was stuff like Tre telling me 'Welcome To Paradise' was a shitty song, and me getting pissed when they made fun of me."

The band was bickering with each other and not communicating properly at the time, it sounds like Tre must've just said it to wind him up.

maybe when his heart starts giving him issues, it causes him to have a panic attack. I know when I was heavier my heart would beat really fast (not all the time though), and it would cause me to have a panic attack.

I am not sure now, there are so many things being said about it I am not sure what to believe about either one

[Hermione]

I think the mystery of Tre's ball/balls is one that will never be solved.

And I don't see much reason not to believe the godfather thing, doesn't really seem worth making up.

[Tamy15]

I am not sure now, there are so many things being said about it I am not sure what to believe about either one

Yeah, that's what's happening to me now... xD

I dont know what to believe, but I really wish he has his both testicles alive because losing one... well, u know, it has to be painful... :/

[norcalgreendayfan]

Yeah, that's what's happening to me now... xD

I dont know what to believe, but I really wish he has his both testicles alive because losing one... well, u know, it has to be painful... :/

well I think he would be used to it by now since it supposidly happened so many years ago, if it indeed is true

[Sarahnade.]

I used to make fun of the people who spelled his name wrong... and now.... gulp....I'm one of them

HAHAHA AWWWW.

We all make mistakes!

And thanks Hermione. I never saw that quote before, haha.

Yeah. I don't know the logistics of Mike's heart problem, but I remember reading somewhere that something was enlarged. I'm thinking a valve or something..? I have no clue. But if his heart is screwy, I guess he gets panic attacks.

I don't know about you Courtney, and I don't know everything about hearts and panic attacks, but when you have a panic attack, your heart races, right? So, I guess if he has a heart issue, maybe his heart races, which could make him feel anxious, hence a panic attack.

Lmfao. I'm totally guessing here, but it makes a bit of sense, I think.

Ah! Thank you so much, you two. Now my neurotic mind is at ease.

Heh, that's true. I don't think Welcome to Paradise is one of Green Day's best. In fact, it's like one of my least favorite Green Day songs.

What?? Nooooo. Ha. Welcome to Paradise is like consistently in my top Green Day songs. That song is amazing.

[!Viva La Analee!]

me too, i agree!

i love that song!

[Raychul]

We need to make Mike a rumor; poor guy doesn't have any

[Bohemian+Scandal]

I never heard that. But, I'm 100% positive that's not true. Avril just pretty much loves Green Day. But since Tre said he'd like to strangle her with her tie, I'd guess they don't like her music.

Do you know where and when exactly Tre said this? I hear it quoted a lot, but no one's ever given the source.
